Amanda’s father quit drinking and joined AA when she was ten, and from then on alcohol became a strict ‘no’ in her household… but no one would tell her why. This inability to talk to her parents about emotions and big things led Amanda to develop a secret life in high school - one of sneaking around, drinking, and keeping it all to herself. 


As life unfolded and Amanda became a parent, she found comfort in being a ‘party mom’ while moving regularly for work. This constant uprooting made her rely on alcohol more and more, both as a means of connection and as a way to mask her sadness. 


The years of constant partying took their toll, until one night it became too much. Amanda woke up the next day and just ‘stopped’. She was afraid and had no idea how to do it, but she was committed to try. Finding the Sober Mom community has made all the difference! 


Amanda wants you to know that there is no shame in sobriety, no matter what anyone says!

3.5 years into sobriety and I'm still checking off Sober Firsts. How cool is that?

I chat about my oldest going to her first sleepover, what it brought up for me, and how I'm feeling extra grateful for my sobriety this morning. 

Also...consistency in sobriety might be my favorite thing.

From sips of wine from her parent’s glasses to beers while celebrating basketball games, Bri was raised to see alcohol as a fun way for adults to unwind and connect with each other. 


When Bri became a mom herself, she began to understand her own mother’s nightly drink, and gradually Mommy Wine Culture became central to her life. Yet, what seemed like a carefree, easy and glamorous approach to being a mom wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. 


One night, a lightbulb went off in her mind. She took a sip of wine, noticed it’s gross taste, and she felt deeply what she was doing to her body. Right then and there, she stopped drinking for good. 


Tune in for Bri’s story, with a sprinkle of Bravo gossip, in this week’s episode!

I share details about the move to The Sober Mom Life Cafe (Wednesday!). If you're at the $10 level, you won't have to do anything to move over. 

If you're at the $5 and $7 levels, you will have to level up to $10 if you want to be transferred over - and I promise, the connection and value will be worth it!

Thank you for supporting the podcast on Patreon - I'm SO excited for the new chapter of The Sober Mom Life Cafe.
